DISCLAIMER: This is what I thought about fascism, and related matters, in 2018.  I still think it's stupid to dick around on the internet calling yourself a "Stalinist" without any idea what that actually means, secure in the knowledge that you'll never have to learn.  I've known maybe 5 people who had the genuine right to call themselves Stalinists; 4 were old people from the Soviet Union, and the other one's Brace.  I also don't think this is particularly worth talking about in 2022.  We're all so very, very old, you see.

'Dialectical Fascism? hmm, I have no strong feelings about this one way'r another

Fascinating episode. The irony of using fascist propaganda to talk about communism in an episode about fascism isn’t lost on me, but considering I felt the same way in 2018 it’s hard to get too upset about it. Your conceptualization of fascism in this and later episodes has really shifted my thinking. Thanks Mike.

I’m 30 mins in and loving it. He talks about facism having no problem with regard to violence and exerting force on other nations or on your own people. Couldn’t you also say the exact same thing about communism ? With gulags etc ??
